whats your deadlift PR? been doing 8x5 once a week since january, my starting point was 90kg and now I can barely hit 3pl8. is this a normal way of how things should go or do I just have extremely shitty genetics for deadlifting? I keep reading about how peoples starting points here were like 150kg

Lower the weight up the volume. Try 10x10. Don't get discouraged

202.5kg at this point
I wouldn't recommend doing high volume deads, just do 5/3/1 or like 3x2 with appropriate high weight or something, deads are taxing
anyway, everyone starting with six million kgs as their baseline is the same how everyone is 6'5" and has 10" cock
obviously there's outliers but who cares
second of all, it doesn't matter, as long as you keep pushing you will eventually get better

2 warm up sets
1 top set, couple reps shy of failure
Back off set 1: 90% of top set
Back off set 2: 80% of top set
Both BO sets should be taken to a couple reps shy of failure
Apply this to any lift, I only do this with SBD and OHP
Took my deadlift from 425lb --> 475lb

I actually don’t enjoy snapping my shit. Sorry

Terrible advice. For deadlifts you should be doing 3-5 reps for increases in strength. Less if your form is spot on.

Nigga, how the fuck are you complaining about a 50kg increase in half a year?
The internet has seriously deluded people so much.

this may surprise you, but people will lie on the internet to stroke their own ego. if you are coming from a manual labor/sport background and didn't explicitly do strength training, it's likely that someone is starting at a heavier 1RM than someone who has lived a relatively sedentary lifestyle

i was pulling 475-485lbs before cutting, i stayed around the 3pl8/365 plateau for a long time before i hit 4pl8 and took a while to break that plateau. i got better 1RM progression by cutting back my volume and doing some deadlift variations/accessory work

Post body

i did 5x5 deadlift along with 1rm x failure everyday for years because i read the program wrong. i was in pain for years. im retarded

It's normal, tho my starting point (6-7 months ago) was repping 100kg like a maniac and now i'm at 165kgx1

Very normal. I started sub-1plate, quickly went to 70kg and then started adding 2.5kg a week consistently. As long as you're adding weight to the bar steadily with good form don't change anything.
